Center of Prairie Flowers DONE

The five panels down the center of the Prairie Flower installation piece are completely quilted with finished edges. The last steps for them will be to lightly quilt a plain piece of canvas to within a 1/2" of the edges and then to upholster them with staples to the mounting boards. Also, a bit of highlighting with oil stick pastels may be in order to pop a few things forward ... such as the main stems of those flowers growing from one panel into the next.

I got a bit more bold with Elvis. He appears at what will be my eye level in the very center of this piece. I wonder how often he'll be spotted when he's installed in the lobby of the hospital.
Next, the three panels between the finished top and bottom ones of the vertical row to left of this set will be worked on from now through the Labor Day weekend.
